Abstract

BARBER, Research Institute, Ashland MA 01721 USA reviews (165 references) the literature regarding clinical hypnosis.

Background

The author writes that numerous research projects converge on the conclusion that there are three major types of very good or highly responsive hypnotic subjects: a) fantasy-prone individuals who have secretly spent much of their time since childhood fantasizing vividly and realistically; b) amnesia-prone individuals who have developed special abilities for mentally repressing or compartmentalizing undesired memories, thoughts and emotions; and c) positively-set individuals who are maximally ready to cooperate, think-with, and imagine what is suggested to the best of their ability while letting go of contrary thoughts.
